RGV asks actors to adopt lanes of Ameerpet & Dhoolpet
Here comes RGV again. The maverick director made stinging comments on the trend of celebrities adopting villages. In a series of tweets, he asked celebs to adopt areas like Ameerpet and Dhoolpet.Taking potshots at celebs for adopting villages across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, this is what the director has to say.
'I find this whole thing of celebs adopting villages very insulting to villages..No self respecting village will allow itself to be adopted
Imagine how insulting we will feel if a Hollywood star would want to adopt India reminding us that we are an under developed country
Do People who adopt think villages are orphans or beggars or handicapped or what? If villages have any self respect they should protest
Any village who is willing to be adopted is actually admitting that its depending on left over morsels thrown at it by the rich and famous
They say villages are the strength of the country and then they insult them by telling the whole world the villages live on their mercy
If Normal stars also are adopting a village should very powerful stars adopt many many many villages ?.'
Deriding the adoption trend, RGV said: 'I think it's a conspiracy of government to incite the rich and famous to adopt villages so that it itself doesn't need to do anything.'
In another tweets, he said: 'I wonder if any celebrity will adopt the backlanes of Ameerpet in Hyderabad? I think there are more poor people than there are in villages.'
He even said the adoption would lead to kingdom culture.
